Company Outranks Veeam, Datto, Acronis, CommVault and Others In Comprehensive Review of Backup Service Enablers

TORONTO, ON – January 15, 2019 — /BackupReview.info/ – Asigra Inc., a leading cloud backup, recovery and restore software provider since 1986, today announced that it has been ranked number one in BackupReview’s January 2019 list of Top Cloud Backup Enablers. BackupReview.info provides an updated listing of the best cloud backup service providers and technology enablers in what has become recognized as the authoritative list of cloud backup solution providers. The guide helps managed service providers (MSPs) and businesses with the resources needed to meet their unique data protection requirements.

Companies identified in BackupReview’s report are categorized based on their go-to-market strategy and technology format. The categories include enablers (backup software and service enablement solutions) and service provider solutions delivered directly to the enterprise, SMB, and consumer sectors. In the enabler category, software only provider Asigra ranked number one, outperforming Veeam, Rubrik, Acronis, CommVault, NovaStor, ArcServe, Datto, Vembu, Infrascale and others for enabling MSPs with an evolved backup solution to meet today’s new challenges. Asigra Cloud Backup V14 features the most advanced capabilities for preventing the attack of backup data by ransomware and other malware.

As a cloud backup enabler, Asigra develops its own software which is then licensed to MSPs and other IT service provider partners. Asigra’s partners re-brand the product and sell services under their own brand with supportive resources provided by Asigra to promote rapid customer adoption. Unlike other vendors in the category, Asigra does not compete against its partners by providing cloud backup services directly to end-customers. Instead, the company partners with the channel to support business delivery.

In addition to powerful MSP enablement and anti-ransomware capabilities, Asigra’s award-winning Cloud Backup V14 includes comprehensive GDPR compliance enabling features that address Articles 6, 17, 25, and 32, including the “Right of Erasure.” The latest generation software includes the ability to locate and delete customer data within backup repositories at the request of the consumer citizen in order to satisfy compliance requirements. With Asigra, businesses and consumers are then provided with a certificate as evidence, forming part of an Effective Response to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in Europe.

“The data protection race is heating up with ransomware and GDPR requirements now directly impacting organizations that have not properly prepared for these new challenges,” said David Farajun, CEO, Asigra. “Our evolved backup solution has impressed MSPs worldwide and we are pleased to be recognized by BackupReview as number one in the category. Our success in the market reflects years of dedication and collaboration with hundreds of partners and thousands of customers globally.”
